Marcia Hafif on ENAMEL ON WOOD
"Answering the question, "What is a painting," in its most material aspect, I thought it is a box with paint applied on its front surface. I then constructed wooden boxes or flat wooden supports spaced from the wall which I painted with enamel, household enamel or sign painting paint, then enamel paint found in shops where I worked: in Munich, Dusseldorf, London and Paris.
